**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 4 00:00:04 2022 Nov 04 00:00:04 I know man, he wasn't fussed... rather kindly went back to bed Nov 04 00:00:14 * HH nods Nov 04 00:00:21 Fine quality in a man Nov 04 00:01:15 * Morgan nods, sipping his blokners Nov 04 00:01:33 * HH looks to the door again "ask Molly how long they'll be? I'm starving" Nov 04 00:01:54 [HeinzHarold wants to know how long you'll be... he's very hungry] Nov 04 00:02:15 [just a minute... he can start if he wants to] Nov 04 00:02:36 [what are you doing?] Nov 04 00:02:39 She says carry on Nov 04 00:02:51 He never caught you pair kissin' or worse? Nov 04 00:03:05 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 00:03:14 No... very chaste and innocent, us... Nov 04 00:03:28 [asking her about why she likes it when he cums on her breasts] Nov 04 00:03:49 Y' sound like loads of fun (!) Nov 04 00:04:14 * Morgan clears his throat, drinking again Nov 04 00:04:31 I'm a lot of fun... on Tuesdays I even play cards! Nov 04 00:05:15 Pushin' the boat out thinking it might be -strip- poker at least? Nov 04 00:05:37 Don't be obscene! Nov 04 00:05:52 [is there anything else you wish to know?] Nov 04 00:06:01 * HH laughs Nov 04 00:06:06 [I... don't think so] Nov 04 00:06:31 Is Saint Morgan back from the dead? Nov 04 00:07:03 unlikely Nov 04 00:07:14 *Molly and Inga come back in, both looking a little smug and giggly* Nov 04 00:07:38 * HH gets up to seat his wife before kissing her cheek Nov 04 00:07:55 * Morgan puts on an innocent look before looking intently at Inga Nov 04 00:08:11 Your skin definitely looks softer today... guess the oil worked... Nov 04 00:08:37 *She automatically looks down at her cleavage* Nov 04 00:09:16 * HH smirks, drinking more blokners. Molly sits beside Morgan. Nov 04 00:09:39 I: *she then realises, looking up* Oh, thank you, Morgan Nov 04 00:09:54 * Morgan still looks entirely innocent, sipping his drink Nov 04 00:10:13 [what are you up to, hmm?] Nov 04 00:10:32 * HH digs into his food, the women eating too Nov 04 00:11:01 [Nothing at all] Nov 04 00:11:15 * Morgan starts eating Nov 04 00:11:40 *Molly glances at him briefly* Nov 04 00:12:07 Guess who spotted us kissin' last night, lil darlin? Nov 04 00:12:53 *Inga blushes, looking to Morgan "sorry, he looked sound asleep when I checked on him" Nov 04 00:13:05 * Morgan smiles Nov 04 00:13:28 Don't worry about it, it was only a bit of kissing... he took himself back to bed... decided not to interrupt you Nov 04 00:13:45 *Molly presses her leg to his beneath the table* Nov 04 00:14:03 *Inga nods* we'll be more careful next time Nov 04 00:14:15 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 00:14:26 Its good for him to see people who love eachother being affectionate Nov 04 00:14:51 Don' want him being Saint Varick of Puritytown as a man! Nov 04 00:15:37 Puritytown already has a saint thanks Nov 04 00:16:10 *the three of them laugh* Nov 04 00:16:44 [didn't you bury him when you had me over your lap and spanked me?] Nov 04 00:17:05 [Either then or when I was buried in your behind] Nov 04 00:18:20 *Molly makes a little high-pitched noise suddenly, thankfully more a yip of surprise than a moan of desire, then blushes* Nov 04 00:18:58 * HH watches her a moment before looking to Morgan "You pinching the poor lassie?" Nov 04 00:19:41 With both hands on the table? I'm good but I'm not _that_ good Nov 04 00:20:07 Mighta been with yer foot Nov 04 00:21:34 *Molly slips off her shoe, briefly running her foot up his shin. Her expression gives none of it away* Nov 04 00:22:43 Pinched her... with my foot... Nov 04 00:23:29 I: Are we staying Weisfeld tomorrow? *Molly nods* I'd have preferred to go all the way to Paan, but the roads are much worse, and darker too than in the summer. Nov 04 00:23:49 Mebbie. Could pinch with yer toes Nov 04 00:24:31 Don't be daft man Nov 04 00:24:42 I tried tha', doesn't work Nov 04 00:25:08 Evidently Nov 04 00:25:39 I: Paan is where the brothel is, isn't it? Nov 04 00:26:11 *she asks Morgan casually* Nov 04 00:26:34 There's bound to be at least one... Nov 04 00:27:24 I think we're prob'ly gonna spend most of th' evening in the tavern though Nov 04 00:28:07 [definitely could not repeat it then, mon petit chou!] Nov 04 00:28:16 Oh aye? Nov 04 00:28:47 'Eard it was pretty nice in there, singin' and such Nov 04 00:29:46 *Molly glances at his expression* Nov 04 00:29:59 * Morgan looks entirely calm Nov 04 00:30:29 And such, yes... the brothel is rather a place for a particular set of activities, none of which include singing Nov 04 00:31:11 I: Have you been in a lot of brothels, Morgan? Nov 04 00:31:40 Ummm... three, I think. Been _outside_ a lot of them... Nov 04 00:32:04 *Inga nods* Nov 04 00:32:12 Good boy, this one. Nov 04 00:32:22 * Morgan nods Nov 04 00:32:33 Not uncommon to find working girls in taverns, though... Nov 04 00:33:20 I: There's some in Sudlachenburg too Nov 04 00:34:13 Doesn't surprise me Nov 04 00:35:29 *this moves on to the talk about the ones in Koln and how Morgan resolved it. The meal seems to pass quickly, but Molly keeps occassionally stroking his leg with her foot* Nov 04 00:38:31 * HH finishes his blokners, reclining back in the chair Nov 04 00:38:38 Needed that! Nov 04 00:39:40 * Morgan nods Nov 04 00:39:48 You were wasting away Nov 04 00:40:27 * HH pats his stomach "still sexy as fuck" Nov 04 00:41:02 If you say so Nov 04 00:41:06 *Molly smiles* I've seen sexier. Nov 04 00:41:23 * HH laughs Nov 04 00:42:03 I: Didn't you see Kurt naked once? Nov 04 00:42:53 *Molly nods* running through Catherine's with his hands over his... *she glances at Morgan* dingaling? Nov 04 00:43:25 * Morgan nods Nov 04 00:43:59 I've never seen the assembled female guests and staff move so fast. Didn't much appreciate me blocking the hallway Nov 04 00:44:15 *Inga giggles* I'm not surprised! Nov 04 00:44:41 Wanted to get th' best views yerself, eh man? Nov 04 00:45:00 Told you he was prettier than you Nov 04 00:45:28 * HH fakes looking wounded "really?" Nov 04 00:45:57 *Inga looks at HH* Noooo, you're much better looking than him! Nov 04 00:46:46 *Molly glances at Morgan's expression* Nov 04 00:47:01 * Morgan looks almost blank, expressionless Nov 04 00:47:43 M: You're both handsome men, but I prefer the gorgeous man I already have, especially his bottom! Nov 04 00:48:02 * HH and Inga start laughing Nov 04 00:48:31 Rightly so Nov 04 00:48:54 [not quite in the same way you like mine...] Nov 04 00:49:06 * HH looks to Inga Nov 04 00:49:22 Molly ask you to listen out for Varick yet? Nov 04 00:49:28 [No... maybe I'll demonstrate later] Nov 04 00:49:42 * Morgan smirks, sipping his drink Nov 04 00:49:47 *Molly fidgets a little beside him* Nov 04 00:49:55 I: No? Why? Nov 04 00:50:15 Morgan said Molly wanted you to Nov 04 00:50:27 *Molly looks confused* Nov 04 00:50:59 Oh... guess I was wrong Nov 04 00:51:17 [was I supposed to?] Nov 04 00:52:04 I: it's no problem, no doubt you two need to catch up on sleep after your bad night Nov 04 00:52:06 [No, he was asking what you were talking about, so I said... probably asking Inga to watch Varick so I can fuck you senseless] Nov 04 00:52:46 *Molly draws in a sharp breath* Mmmmmmmmight be an idea. Nov 04 00:53:22 [couldn't very well say 'she's asking your wife why she likes it when you cum on her tits' could I?] Nov 04 00:53:50 Speaking of Varick... HeinzHarold has suggested it'd be safer for him to remain behind when we go to the Empire... Nov 04 00:53:52 *She fidgets again* Nov 04 00:54:05 M: yes, that's fine Nov 04 00:54:38 * HH is watching the pair of them $we said something wrong?$ Nov 04 00:54:56 $no man, why?$ Nov 04 00:55:17 Probably best leave Claudia behind too... don't want her starting an international incident Nov 04 00:55:19 $Molly looks a bit flighty$ Nov 04 00:55:47 $Lets say she's distracted$ Nov 04 00:55:58 M: *she nods* They treat their women quite roughly there. Nov 04 00:56:16 * HH smiles slightly Nov 04 00:56:30 $want us to bugger off?$ Nov 04 00:56:51 I: Jarvie said they brand them with hot irons Nov 04 00:56:51 $and let her off easy? Nah$ Nov 04 00:57:06 Oh yeah, _definitely_ need to leave Claudia behind Nov 04 00:57:38 I'm wondering if it'd be wise to leave you behind as well *he looks at HeinzHarold* Nov 04 00:57:51 *Molly just nods as she sips her drink, but he feels her thighs press together* Nov 04 00:57:56 Why, man? Nov 04 00:59:07 *Inga sips her wine, watching the men* Nov 04 00:59:18 Because between you and Claudia, you can protect Inga and Varick against anything... and I know you'll feel being away from her keenly Nov 04 00:59:43 *Inga blurts out* his wrist would be sore Nov 04 01:00:02 Thats _exactly_ what he said Nov 04 01:00:07 * HH laughs "Thanks, lil darlin!" Nov 04 01:00:33 *Molly looks at Morgan* from holding the camel's reins? Nov 04 01:00:50 * HH laughs harder, Inga giggling too Nov 04 01:01:08 Never heard it called that before Nov 04 01:01:30 *Molly looks puzzled* what? Nov 04 01:02:21 [She means he'd get a sore wrist from pleasuring himself so much since she's not there to do it for him] Nov 04 01:02:29 Hang on... camels? Nov 04 01:02:53 * HH closes her eyes a long moment. He can see her breathing purposefully slowly Nov 04 01:02:57 * HH is now known as Molly Nov 04 01:03:18 Yes, camels. Nov 04 01:03:39 Can't they use horses like normal people? Nov 04 01:03:47 [maybe he should just try thrusting against his sheets...] Nov 04 01:04:25 * Molly 's pupils are much wider when she looks at him "they fare better in the heat" Nov 04 01:05:17 [no point, it doesn't work] Nov 04 01:05:27 How the hell do you ride a camel? Nov 04 01:06:50 [oh but the -need-....] *she shivers* however they tell us to Nov 04 01:07:50 Right... well... it sounds awkward Nov 04 01:08:39 HH: Can't be 'arder than riding Xantha Nov 04 01:08:49 * Morgan snorts Nov 04 01:09:10 How would you know? He's easy to ride, _if_ he chooses to let you Nov 04 01:09:50 HH: I like a ride I don't have to persuade first! Nov 04 01:10:30 * Molly finishes her drink in a long swallow Nov 04 01:10:38 * Morgan glances at Inga before looking back at HeinzHarold Nov 04 01:10:48 You don't persuade him... you climb up and hope Nov 04 01:11:01 *Inga giggles* Nov 04 01:11:37 **HH looks at her before tickling her** Nov 04 01:12:47 HH: find that funny, do ya? Nov 04 01:13:27 *Inga keeps giggling, but she doesn't seem horrendously ticklish* Nov 04 01:13:45 * Morgan smiles at them fondly Nov 04 01:14:55 * Molly stands, starting to tidy the plates. HH pulls Inga onto his lap, holding her arms to stop her trying to tickle him back "Oh no, not t'day, lil rabbit" Nov 04 01:15:52 * Molly glances at them momentarily with a faint smile before continuing the tidying Nov 04 01:16:34 * Morgan smiles, getting up to help her Nov 04 01:17:01 * Molly glances at him, desire in her eyes "It's getting late, isn't it?" Nov 04 01:17:30 * Morgan nods Nov 04 01:17:49 Need to rest up for another exciting day of riding slowly for hours on end tomorrow Nov 04 01:18:14 *even this makes her bite her lip* Nov 04 01:18:30 $want rid of us now?$ Nov 04 01:18:46 $I'd say someone does. You mind?$ Nov 04 01:19:11 $nah man, go sort yer wife out, we'll listen out tonight$ Nov 04 01:19:25 $thanks man$ Nov 04 01:19:33 Come on love, lets get some rest Nov 04 01:20:55 *HH lifts Inga up before standing. Goodnights are said, Inga whispering something to Molly that makes Molly smile. Then they are gone, taking the trays to return the dishes. Molly shuts the door gently behind them Nov 04 01:22:16 Ready for bed love? Nov 04 01:22:53 Uhhh yes, good idea, my love. You must be exhausted Nov 04 01:23:45 * Morgan nods Nov 04 01:23:46 some Nov 04 01:24:07 * Molly nods, gently taking his hand and kissing his knuckles Nov 04 01:24:31 Let's get ready to sleep then, and I will hold you and sing to you Nov 04 01:24:45 Mmhmmm, once I've fucked you senseless Nov 04 01:25:43 * Molly shudders a little again then looks up at him "you... you are not too tired?" Nov 04 01:26:09 For doing that? No... no doubt I'll be shattered afterwards mind Nov 04 01:26:27 I should tell you to sleep instead... Nov 04 01:27:48 If you'd prefer that I don't fuck you into insensibility... Nov 04 01:28:01 No! God, no! Nov 04 01:29:00 Come on then! Nov 04 01:29:21 * Molly has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 04 01:30:18 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 04 09:42:42 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 04 09:56:47 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 04 09:59:44 * MollyK gets her clothes off as quick as she can, washes up for bed and undoes her hair. Then she sits back on the chair by the fire, watching him Nov 04 10:01:21 * Morgan strips off quickly, immediately upon her, sucking at her neck as he penetrates her Nov 04 10:03:47 * MollyK looks a little surprised by this, but moans with a sort of relief, running her fingers over the braid of their hair Nov 04 10:04:56 Sorry... I needed to have you Nov 04 10:05:26 I will never, ever, complain about that! Nov 04 10:06:43 * Morgan nods, continuing to fuck her, not hard but not gentle, kissing her repeatedly Nov 04 10:07:48 * MollyK kisses him at this same pace despite the fact that she's very quickly moaning into his mouth and close already Nov 04 10:08:53 * Morgan carries on, pushing her body through her own peak as his own approaches Nov 04 10:09:58 * MollyK watches him intently "you really do need me tonight, hmm?" Nov 04 10:10:07 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:11:17 Mark me if you need it, my love *she arches as she orgasms again, grasping firmly at his skin* Nov 04 10:12:00 * Morgan nods, bringing his mouth to her neck, biting and sucking hard as he looses himself within her Nov 04 10:13:07 * MollyK climaxes along with him, lovingly stroking his back as they are united in pleasure Nov 04 10:14:01 * Morgan collapses to one side, spent Nov 04 10:14:55 * MollyK smiles, moving to lie beside him Nov 04 10:15:03 Is that better, my love? Nov 04 10:15:13 * Morgan nods, looking at her neck Nov 04 10:15:19 Another fichu tomorrow... Nov 04 10:15:24 * MollyK smiles Nov 04 10:15:30 Oh good! Nov 04 10:16:21 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:17:12 * MollyK watches him with a satiated smile Nov 04 10:17:29 Can I ask, what made it so urgent? Nov 04 10:17:58 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 04 10:18:09 Its always so urgent... I'm just better at controlling it Nov 04 10:18:32 * MollyK giggles "and tonight?" Nov 04 10:18:45 Not so much, clearly Nov 04 10:18:54 * MollyK nods Nov 04 10:19:07 Are you ready for bed? Nov 04 10:20:04 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:20:05 I am Nov 04 10:21:00 * MollyK gets sorted and then under the sheets, waiting to cuddle up Nov 04 10:22:06 * Morgan climbs under the sheets Nov 04 10:23:00 * MollyK gets nice and close Nov 04 10:23:17 Did you ask Heinzharold why he likes it? Nov 04 10:26:05 No, didn't get chance really Nov 04 10:26:12 * MollyK nods Nov 04 10:26:25 That's a pity Nov 04 10:28:15 Is it? Nov 04 10:28:27 I'd have been curious to know Nov 04 10:29:20 * Morgan nos Nov 04 10:29:23 * MollyK rests her head to his shoulder, a hand on his chest gently stroking him soothingly Nov 04 10:29:26 Why does she let him? Nov 04 10:29:56 She doesn't just let him, my love, she actively wants it too Nov 04 10:31:08 Really? Why? Nov 04 10:33:25 Because it's enjoyable to see the power of it, to feel the sudden heat and wetness. Because it makes her feel good about herself. Of all the women in the world, he has chosen her for this, and she is beautiful enough to him that he wants to feel that when he looks at her Nov 04 10:34:26 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:34:30 That makes sense I suppose Nov 04 10:34:50 You find that odd? Nov 04 10:34:58 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 10:35:02 I just hadn't thought of it Nov 04 10:35:09 * MollyK nods Nov 04 10:35:13 She said there are several different ways, and they're all good. Nov 04 10:35:44 I don't... see how there are different ways Nov 04 10:36:25 Well, whereabouts, and who makes it happen, and what's been done just before it Nov 04 10:37:03 Sounds complicated Nov 04 10:37:14 Really? Nov 04 10:37:53 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:37:55 Definitely Nov 04 10:38:07 She said that I might be able to coax you to try something a little different like that one day. *she giggles* Nov 04 10:38:31 Oh I'm far too innocent to be thinking about that Nov 04 10:39:10 Of course Nov 04 10:39:37 Interesting isn't it... Stef was convinced there's more than we let on, Inga who spends so much time with us has no idea Nov 04 10:40:42 Inga knew you from her time in Die Dauerhaftigkeit, and she has heard Heinzharold's stories of the War, I suppose. And I am very careful not to tell too much Nov 04 10:40:55 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 10:41:37 I am simply not the same person now Nov 04 10:41:42 * MollyK nods Nov 04 10:41:53 No. You are very different now Nov 04 10:42:28 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:42:53 I imagine she'll figure it out... I don't want you hiding things to protect my embarrassment if you are needing to share it with her though Nov 04 10:43:23 I don't-need- to, but I suppose sometimes I do feel a little left out Nov 04 10:43:32 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:43:36 I do not wish that for you Nov 04 10:44:14 * MollyK nods "They know that I am very happy, and you are very generous and extremely skilled" Nov 04 10:44:49 * Morgan takes a deep breath Nov 04 10:45:15 You share with her what you wish to, alright? I hate that you feel left out to protect my modesty Nov 04 10:45:44 I'll think about it, my love. It certainly wouldn't be everything! Nov 04 10:46:03 No... no I don't think she'd deal with certain things very well Nov 04 10:46:16 No, not after Elsie. Nov 04 10:46:31 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:47:10 She would not understand how -you- could want that, or why I was willing to risk the pain and injury Nov 04 10:47:33 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:47:45 She doesn't understand me very well Nov 04 10:48:10 Only in this way. She sees what a good, honest, loving man you are Nov 04 10:50:16 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:51:09 Good Nov 04 10:51:27 * MollyK nods, still stroking his chest Nov 04 10:51:53 She will not think less of you if she knows some of the less shocking things, she'd be pleased for us Nov 04 10:52:04 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:52:07 That is important Nov 04 10:52:29 I know, my love. When someone matters to you, their opinion of you is important Nov 04 10:52:35 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:52:39 yes. Very much. Nov 04 10:53:26 ACTION nods, quiet a moment before saying "Apparently the gentlest way would be to ask you to withdraw when you are close and then… bring you off by hand myself onto my bare belly." *she fidgets a little beneath the sheets* Nov 04 10:53:26 * Received a CTCP from MollyK (to #7thsea) Nov 04 10:53:58 * Morgan runs a hand down her Nov 04 10:54:03 You wish to try it? Nov 04 10:54:12 Do you? Nov 04 10:54:55 I think it safe to say I am not averse to trying new things Nov 04 10:55:01 * MollyK giggles Nov 04 10:55:16 I am starting to get that impression! Nov 04 10:56:17 I... told HeinzHarold about tying you to the bed for three hours... Nov 04 10:56:26 * MollyK looks surprised Nov 04 10:56:30 You did? Nov 04 10:56:50 * Morgan nods Nov 04 10:57:35 He didn't believe me, mind... but... I don't know, I needed to share it... I was struggling with it a little Nov 04 10:58:15 I'm not cross, I trust him entirely. Was he able to help? Nov 04 10:58:24 A bit, yes Nov 04 10:58:35 Did you tell Edward? Nov 04 10:59:22 Only that we had done things we had not before, and it was a big departure from who I thought myself to be... from who Dietlinde loved... Nov 04 10:59:35 * MollyK nods Nov 04 11:00:03 I thought perhaps you might, as he was tied up when Alarice prevented him from withdrawing Nov 04 11:00:13 It did not occur to me Nov 04 11:00:37 I know he does not like that at all any more Nov 04 11:00:51 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:01:06 unnerstandable Nov 04 11:01:22 * MollyK nods "Did he reassure you?" Nov 04 11:01:53 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:02:20 Yes... his advice helped a bit, his reassurance helped more Nov 04 11:02:34 * MollyK smiles "that's good, my love" Nov 04 11:03:22 Did you struggle after what we did in Westfeld? Nov 04 11:03:51 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 11:03:55 No, I didn't Nov 04 11:04:05 * MollyK nods "I'm glad" Nov 04 11:04:21 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:04:22 And you? Nov 04 11:04:31 * MollyK thinks Nov 04 11:05:41 No, not really. I suppose I wondered that you might feel the next morning... that you might be... might think a little less of me that I enjoyed it so much... Nov 04 11:06:24 God no... no, that was utterly intoxicating... seeing you in such ecstasy is utterly wonderful Nov 04 11:07:34 Mmmmm... and it did not trouble you that I'd wondered for so many months what it would be like, tried to imagine what it would feel like and whether you would get great pleasure from it? Nov 04 11:07:51 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 11:07:54 Not at all Nov 04 11:08:03 * MollyK nods, smiling Nov 04 11:09:10 I suppose I wondered if it was something you already knew and liked, and whether you were trying to work out how to broach the topic, or just did not feel you wanted that with -me- Nov 04 11:09:41 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 11:09:46 Clearly not Nov 04 11:10:01 * MollyK nods, with a mischievous smile Nov 04 11:10:21 I had not accounted for you being entirely clueless of it! Nov 04 11:10:44 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:10:47 completely Nov 04 11:11:10 If you had not dreamt it, I would likely never have mentioned it Nov 04 11:11:30 Lucky, then... Nov 04 11:11:37 * MollyK nods Nov 04 11:11:41 You think so? Nov 04 11:11:59 Don't you? Nov 04 11:12:22 I do, I was just wondering how you feel about it now the dust has settled Nov 04 11:12:54 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 11:12:58 I enjoyed it very much Nov 04 11:14:00 * MollyK nods "Me too. And you would like to do it again?" Nov 04 11:14:11 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:14:18 If you are not opposed to it Nov 04 11:14:31 Oh no, definitely not opposed at all! Nov 04 11:14:47 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:14:53 I am glad to hear that Nov 04 11:15:02 You'd have been disappointed? Nov 04 11:15:41 I think so, yes.... I would've respected your decision, of course... Nov 04 11:15:57 Oh, I know! Nov 04 11:16:40 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:17:10 * MollyK smiles "No, I definitely wish to do it again. It feels very different, but oh-so-good!" Nov 04 11:17:39 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:18:17 You will not tell Heinzharold about it? Nov 04 11:18:46 I don't think so, no Nov 04 11:18:53 * MollyK nods Nov 04 11:19:19 I won't be cross if you do. I know you and he are so very close Nov 04 11:20:37 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:20:40 We are, yes Nov 04 11:21:11 * MollyK nods, smirking "I wouldn't want anything to -come- between you" Nov 04 11:22:17 * Morgan looks at her suspiciously Nov 04 11:22:52 No... thats reserved for you and I... Nov 04 11:23:47 * MollyK giggles "It was simply a lewd pun, my love" Nov 04 11:24:29 So was mine... Nov 04 11:26:14 And there was me thinking it might be an offer, mon petit chou! Nov 04 11:27:03 Not tonight love Nov 04 11:27:44 I did not mean tonight, I would imagine you are so tired now! Nov 04 11:28:00 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:28:01 I am Nov 04 11:28:25 * MollyK nods, moving to kiss him gently Nov 04 11:28:35 Time for sleep then, my love Nov 04 11:28:51 * Morgan nods, fidgeting and get comfortable before closing his eyes Nov 04 11:29:47 * MollyK sings to him softly, a fishing song that sounds like it has an Insel accent to it Nov 04 11:30:33 * Morgan speaks slowly Nov 04 11:30:49 You... got... Insel...'ccent Nov 04 11:31:21 I heard it there Nov 04 11:31:48 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 04 11:32:06 * MollyK keeps singing Nov 04 11:32:51 *He falls asleep. He starts to dream where he had betrayed HH. The trip ever north had taken him up the East Road through Hainzl and then his home Konigsreich, into Heilgrunde up the canals, past Posen's Angohemwald, finally to the island of Insel again nearly three weeks later. At the main house he gets cleaned up quickly, and is told the rest of Nov 04 11:32:51 the family are away, and Molly had gone swimming. He has picked his way back to that warm, sunny clearing where he first saw her pleasuring her body. The body in question is back to him, waist deep in the water, her dark red hair still dry. Nov 04 11:33:42 hey Nov 04 11:34:31 * MollyK turns at the sound. She smiles in the sunshine, moving towards the shore. The veins on her breasts are more prominent, nipples more pronounced. And below that, her belly is a smooth convex, just about concealable under clothing but naked like this she is obviously with child. Nov 04 11:34:48 Hello stranger Nov 04 11:36:03 * Morgan sits down Nov 04 11:36:27 How're you doing? Nov 04 11:37:06 * MollyK smiles, coming out dripping to stand on the grass. Nov 04 11:37:20 I am doing well. And you? Nov 04 11:37:45 * Morgan shrugs, looking round Nov 04 11:38:00 Lost my best friend through my own actions so... not great Nov 04 11:39:13 *It's completely empty of all people, only bird song here. She lays a blanket beside him before lying back on it. Her belly makes a little hill, shiny in the sunlight * Nov 04 11:40:01 Sorry about that. I was too busy thinking about what I wanted rather than what I ought to do Nov 04 11:40:15 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 11:40:44 Its done now. Gotta do what's right now Nov 04 11:42:38 * MollyK turns her face to watch him Nov 04 11:43:31 I was still trying to decide what to say about who the father is, or whether to say I do not know, or that it could be one of many people Nov 04 11:43:49 But that would not be the truth Nov 04 11:44:37 * MollyK shakes her head "No, it wouldn't. But it shouldn't be possible when you did not even get time to spend yourself" Nov 04 11:44:51 * Morgan sighs Nov 04 11:45:19 And yet.. here we are. At least until my father catches up with me, then... well... Nov 04 11:45:40 * MollyK nods, rubbing a hand over her belly Nov 04 11:45:50 Here we are. All three of us. Nov 04 11:46:07 You realise we have to marry? Nov 04 11:46:23 If I tell the truth, yes Nov 04 11:47:46 Its the proper thing to do Nov 04 11:47:59 * MollyK nods Nov 04 11:48:10 I won't ask anything of you. Nov 04 11:48:35 How do you mean? Nov 04 11:48:46 Money, leaving Insel, sex. Nov 04 11:49:21 I see Nov 04 11:49:37 * MollyK watches him Nov 04 11:49:57 Lie down, let's talk as friends who are in this together Nov 04 11:50:32 * Morgan sighs, lying back Nov 04 11:50:51 What do you want? Nov 04 11:51:18 Something I can't have Nov 04 11:51:38 * MollyK turns her face, keeping them at eye height Nov 04 11:51:51 For all this to go away, and to turn back time? Nov 04 11:52:31 All of this... I will deal with. What I did to HeinzHarold, I cannot. Nov 04 11:53:01 I'm sorry. I wish I could help with that Nov 04 11:53:16 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 11:53:35 I made it worse... he wanted to say the child was his, come back and marry you Nov 04 11:53:47 I would have refused him Nov 04 11:54:28 Why? Nov 04 11:54:58 Many reasons. My father would forbid it immediately because he is not noble Nov 04 11:55:49 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:56:35 He would prefer I went into the country, delivered the child and had it adopted, and then moved on to making a good match Nov 04 11:57:03 And you dislike that idea Nov 04 11:57:24 I would tear the world apart before I let that happen. Nov 04 11:57:55 * Morgan nods Nov 04 11:58:24 My parents, assuming they don't disown me, will want to know their grandchild Nov 04 11:58:32 * MollyK nods Nov 04 11:58:50 I have no objection to that Nov 04 11:59:45 I suppose... again, assuming I am not disowned... my title might placate your father? Nov 04 11:59:52 * MollyK nods Nov 04 12:00:52 On paper, we are a good match. Insel thrives, we are far from poor. We have good shipping trade and connections in neighbouring countries. You are a Veisgraf. Nov 04 12:02:13 For now Nov 04 12:02:22 * MollyK nods Nov 04 12:03:07 A diplomatic solution is in everyone's interests. We were swept away with passion, but we are willing to be married. Nov 04 12:03:25 * Morgan nods Nov 04 12:04:38 * MollyK smiles "Gosh, doesn't that sound so mature and not at all like we are living life to the full and wildly in love!" Nov 04 12:05:33 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 04 12:06:17 Is your Father going to be incandescent then? Nov 04 12:06:53 The only thing that will stop him disowning me instantly is the damage it would do to Sudlachenburgs reputation I think Nov 04 12:07:46 Mine is very displeased, but thinks this adoption nonsense makes sense. Nov 04 12:08:36 If... from a purely political point of view... if it were not _my_ child, then it does make a certain sort of sense Nov 04 12:08:43 * MollyK nods Nov 04 12:09:22 Oh yes, of course. No one at Court would know. It happens all the time. But it will not happen to me, because I am keeping my baby. Nov 04 12:11:03 * MollyK runs her hand over her small bump again, protectively Nov 04 12:12:09 If... we were to marry... there would be a risk of you becoming pregnant with anothers child in the future... Nov 04 12:12:25 No there would not Nov 04 12:13:15 How so? You have said in the past you would not wish to settle with just one man... Nov 04 12:13:40 This has made me reassess my priorities Nov 04 12:14:01 How so? Nov 04 12:14:45 There are too many consequences of that, and also I will not do anything that would spoil my child's upbringing Nov 04 12:15:37 * Morgan nods Nov 04 12:16:02 You would endure a sexless marriage for y... _our_ child... Nov 04 12:16:48 I would certainly prefer not to have a sexless marriage, but if that is the cost then I will manage by myself as usual Nov 04 12:17:59 * MollyK watches him "What about you? You would have a mistress or two?" Nov 04 12:18:14 * Morgan laughs bitterly Nov 04 12:18:58 My father would kill me for that. I think I've caused enough trouble, don't you? Nov 04 12:19:15 * MollyK frowns a little Nov 04 12:20:17 I understand you are sad about Heinzharold and angry about the situation, but I would rather you can at least think kindly towards the innocent child within me. Nov 04 12:20:32 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 12:21:03 I meant the situation... the child bears no fault at all. Nov 04 12:21:44 * MollyK nods "Good. We will need to make this work. I have no intention of having any lovers" Nov 04 12:22:38 * Morgan nods Nov 04 12:22:56 * MollyK watches him "I could have slept with your friend, you know? He came looking for you, and would have been more than happy to have finished giving me the satisfaction you were doing such a good job towards..." Nov 04 12:23:18 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 12:23:34 That would've gone against his morals... he's a better man than me Nov 04 12:24:47 * MollyK shakes her head "No, you overestimate it then. He was upset, I was clearly still aroused. He would easily have given in to the temptation" Nov 04 12:25:10 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 12:25:17 I cannot believe that. Nov 04 12:25:49 Well you should. I know what an erection looks like, what a desirous man looks like. Nov 04 12:26:01 * Morgan sighs Nov 04 12:26:10 Why are you telling me this? Nov 04 12:26:42 Because I want you to understand that I sent him away, despite being still very keen on being made love to Nov 04 12:26:51 Why? Nov 04 12:26:58 Because he wasn't you. Nov 04 12:27:08 So? Nov 04 12:27:38 So I only wanted that with you. I wanted to finish what we started, spectacularly. Nov 04 12:28:15 Why? You were quite clear it was just... fun... Nov 04 12:28:57 It was fun, but if it was only fun I wouldn't have felt bereft when I found out you'd gone without a word, without a note even. Nov 04 12:30:26 I... couldn't bear to see the pain in HeinzHarolds eyes... Nov 04 12:30:33 * MollyK nods Nov 04 12:30:45 I thought that was probably the case Nov 04 12:32:12 I did not leave a note because I thought, as you'd said, it was nothing more than a bit of enjoyment to you... Nov 04 12:33:40 I thought that's what it would be. I thought you were so handsome, and so deliciously aroused by what you'd seen me doing, and then that you would swim naked with me... I felt a connection, a spirit of joy and fun in you Nov 04 12:34:39 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 12:34:46 I don't think I've ever been described that way Nov 04 12:34:55 No? Nov 04 12:36:02 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 12:36:04 Never Nov 04 12:37:35 It was joyful and fun here, wasn't it? And it was good, in my room? I wanted to give you my virginity, I'd never felt that spirit and connection with anyone else. I wanted us to wring as much pleasure from each other as we could, and be an arousing memory for each other remembered forever. Nov 04 12:50:47 * Morgan nods Nov 04 12:52:13 Then you were gone, and I lamented not having more time with you Nov 04 12:52:45 Think you'll be lamenting being stuck with me soon Nov 04 12:52:56 * MollyK shakes her head Nov 04 12:53:12 I am sorry that you are trapped now Nov 04 12:53:47 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 12:55:12 It is not what I expected would happen in my life... I am... anxious about the fallout with your father, and mine... and I am devastated about the damage I did to my friendship. *he pauses* we get along alright, with time we should get used to things Nov 04 12:55:25 * MollyK nods Nov 04 12:55:49 I like you. That is more than most noble marriages start with Nov 04 12:56:12 * Morgan nods Nov 04 12:56:19 aye Nov 04 12:56:36 Is there anything you wish to ask me? Nov 04 12:56:46 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 12:56:55 Has there been anyone since? Nov 04 12:57:20 No, absolutely not. I haven't even kissed anyone. You? Nov 04 12:57:45 No Nov 04 12:58:06 * MollyK smiles Nov 04 12:58:31 I suppose that makes us as close to virgins two people can be whilst expecting a child Nov 04 12:58:50 * Morgan nods Nov 04 12:58:53 I suppose so Nov 04 12:59:56 Will you stay in Insel? Do you need your Father's presence, or do you want to get married first? Nov 04 13:00:25 He'd never forgive me if I got married without him Nov 04 13:00:34 * MollyK nods Nov 04 13:01:00 Alright, mine is due home tomorrow Nov 04 13:01:21 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:01:29 I should expect trouble? Nov 04 13:02:10 A minor telling off. My eldest brother was conceived out of wedlock Nov 04 13:02:34 Hypocrisy does not sit well with me Nov 04 13:03:04 * MollyK nods Nov 04 13:03:30 But who is rational when it comes to their child? I know I am not Nov 04 13:03:49 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:04:55 I will not leave you to face any of this alone Nov 04 13:06:13 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:06:23 I appreciate that but it is the way of things Nov 04 13:06:44 It's well-known I'm quite wild Nov 04 13:07:21 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:07:29 That will hold no water with my father Nov 04 13:07:44 I can also be very charming Nov 04 13:08:22 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 13:08:39 I will face my fathers wrath. Its the right thing to do Nov 04 13:09:23 I will tell him I would have asked my father to make overtures to him about a correspondence between us anyway Nov 04 13:09:54 Oh? Nov 04 13:10:13 I am not teasing when I say I like you Nov 04 13:11:12 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:11:16 The feeling is mutual Nov 04 13:11:58 * MollyK smiles warmly Nov 04 13:12:18 I would have had him write. Then my course didn't come, and I quickly realised why. Pregnancy has been an adventure in itself already! Nov 04 13:12:58 Oh? Nov 04 13:13:51 I spent the first three month swinging wildly between being horrendously nauseated and intensely lustful, occassionally simultaneously Nov 04 13:14:21 unfortunate Nov 04 13:14:27 * MollyK nods Nov 04 13:14:44 Oh yes. Fortunately the sickness has now passed Nov 04 13:15:19 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:15:21 good Nov 04 13:15:42 * MollyK smiles faintly Nov 04 13:15:53 Would you like to touch my bump? Nov 04 13:16:32 * Morgan looks at her Nov 04 13:16:35 if... I may? Nov 04 13:16:42 * MollyK smiles Nov 04 13:16:54 Absolutely, that's your baby in there too Nov 04 13:17:40 * Morgan nods, reaching out and placing his hand gently on the bump Nov 04 13:18:21 * MollyK smiles, closing her eyes "that's nice" Nov 04 13:18:44 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:19:27 *Her skin feels warm and smooth, quite firm beneath his hand Nov 04 13:19:48 * Morgan gently rubs his thumb over her skin Nov 04 13:20:11 * MollyK smiles Nov 04 13:20:52 I know it's going to be tough, but this little one came into being against all the odds, and all it will want is our love and care Nov 04 13:21:15 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:23:32 It will have that Nov 04 13:23:57 * MollyK nods Nov 04 13:24:06 How good is your hearing? Nov 04 13:24:28 very Nov 04 13:26:59 * MollyK nods "it might not work, but put your ear here" *she points to a spot on her belly halfway between her mound and belly button* Nov 04 13:27:35 * Morgan nods, shifting to do so Nov 04 13:28:17 *her skin smells of rose water and fresh stream. Where his head rests is definitely firm* Nov 04 13:29:05 * Morgan listens Nov 04 13:29:33 *the birdsong is still beautiful but definitely making it difficult to focus on what he thinks might be a sound* Nov 04 13:30:14 * Morgan frowns, closing his eyes and concentrating Nov 04 13:30:32 * MollyK sticks her finger in his other ear Nov 04 13:31:34 *He can hear it now, like a galloping horse in the distance, so quiet yet so rhythmic* Nov 04 13:31:50 I can hear... something Nov 04 13:32:44 * MollyK takes her finger out "they have fast hearts, the midwife says, more than double an adults" Nov 04 13:34:02 I can hear its heartbeat?! Nov 04 13:34:31 Is it fast? A hundred and fifty or so beats a minute? Nov 04 13:34:53 Something like... sounds like a horse galloping Nov 04 13:35:13 * MollyK nods "then that's your child" Nov 04 13:35:37 * Morgan moves, looking at her absolutely awestruck Nov 04 13:35:49 thats... incredilble Nov 04 13:36:25 Amazing isn't it? I haven't been able to hear it, but I know they are there Nov 04 13:36:43 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:37:06 * MollyK watches him a moment, taking in his expression Nov 04 13:38:00 How do you feel? Nov 04 13:38:09 * Morgan still looks awestruck Nov 04 13:38:19 I don't... I don't know Nov 04 13:38:48 * MollyK nods. She moves, gently kissing him a moment before lying back down Nov 04 13:39:14 And now? Nov 04 13:39:31 Somewhat unsure of myself Nov 04 13:39:38 Why? Nov 04 13:39:50 Because... I feel guilty Nov 04 13:40:00 Because of Heinzharold? Nov 04 13:40:09 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:40:29 * MollyK nods sadly Nov 04 13:40:33 How could I feel so... joyous at hearing the Childs heartbeat when I've been so awful to him... Nov 04 13:40:57 It wasn't you, I shouldn't have seduced you. Nov 04 13:41:16 My decisions were my own Nov 04 13:41:31 Made because of the lust I inspired Nov 04 13:42:27 It was still my decision Nov 04 13:43:00 Would you deny him this joy, even if he had made love to a girl you liked? Nov 04 13:43:40 He more than liked you Nov 04 13:44:41 No, he's a young man with a crush, that's all. And if he made love to a girl you "more than liked", would you want him to not feel joy at hearing what might well be his only child? Nov 04 13:45:11 Of course I wouldn't want that Nov 04 13:46:10 Then how can he be a better man than you, as you profess, and want you to not have this precious moment filled with love? Nov 04 13:47:10 Don't... don't speak ill of him Nov 04 13:48:28 I am not. I believe that he would not deny you this. Nov 04 13:48:40 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:48:45 No.. probably not Nov 04 13:48:51 * MollyK nods Nov 04 13:49:52 Well then. You should be joyful in this moment, not because of him, but for your baby, so that when you one day sit them on your knee, you can tell them how happy you were when you first fell in love with them. Nov 04 13:50:14 * Morgan nods Nov 04 13:50:17 I suppose so Nov 04 13:50:37 * MollyK nods, smiling, eyes closed Nov 04 13:51:01 Take all the time you wish, it's nice and warm here Nov 04 13:51:24 * Morgan nods, placing his ear back to her belly Nov 04 13:52:12 *he can hear it easier now he knows what he is looking for, that little horse traversing the landscape* Nov 04 13:53:28 Only child? Nov 04 13:54:13 Mmm... *she sounds a little sleepy* You have to be inside me to make a baby... but only once, it seems! Nov 04 13:54:39 and... if I wanted more children? Nov 04 13:55:07 I said I would not ask for sex with you, not that I did not want it Nov 04 13:55:42 * Morgan nods slightly, closing his eyes to listen Nov 04 13:56:26 * MollyK doesn't talk. The little heartbeat continues beneath his ear. He can see her chest rise and fall as she seems to have drifted off to sleep. Nov 04 13:56:47 * Morgan just lays there, listening with wonderment Nov 04 13:57:48 *In reality, Molly turns over in the bed, making the dream waver, fading a little* Nov 04 13:58:11 * Morgan sighs, relaxing Nov 04 13:58:35 ((Tries to hold it, or lets it go?)) Nov 04 13:58:45 ((Lets it go)) Nov 04 13:59:09 *Everything is peaceful, it's still the middle of the night* Nov 04 13:59:32 * Morgan lays there, contemplating getting up Nov 04 14:00:31 *She's lovely and warm, and his mind is still swimming. She moves again, an arm slung over his stomach* Nov 04 14:00:59 * Morgan relaxes again, going back to sleep Nov 04 14:01:42 **he starts to dream. It is summer sixty seven, and so far there has been no indication that Dietlinde and Jana are in danger. He has just woken up, or at least dreams he has, the room pitch black. He's hard. There is the soft, hot sensation of a tongue running from his base to his tip beneath the covers. Surprising, given she has never done this Nov 04 14:01:43 to him when he is not awake, and they have only done it a few times at all. Nov 04 14:02:44 * Morgan whispers Nov 04 14:02:48 What are you doing? Nov 04 14:03:24 *There's no reply, just an increase in enthusiasm. Her technique seems to have changed. It was always very enjoyable, gentle and warm and wet, but it feels different now. She uses her tongue within her mouth even whilst gently sucking him, flicking and pressing all manner of little spots that feel incredible, and takes him deeper than before, right Nov 04 14:03:24 back to her tonsils and grinds him there* Nov 04 14:03:56 * Morgan moans softly, still confused Nov 04 14:04:47 *This continues, her hands on his stomach, his thighs, stroking his skin too as she works* Nov 04 14:06:10 whats... what's brought this on my darlin? Nov 04 14:07:28 *her hands grasp at him urgently, pushing deeper, way back into her mouth and between her tonsils, so tight and hot. She grinds a little there too* Nov 04 14:07:56 * Morgan gasps, shutting up Nov 04 14:09:12 *She pulls out a little, then sinks down again. That far. Farther. Lips grazing the crop of hair at his base, her chin on his tightened balls* Nov 04 14:10:20 * Morgan whispers Nov 04 14:10:24 Oh... oh wow Nov 04 14:11:52 *she does this again, the next pass buried firmly in his groin, and grinds him there in the firm grasp of her throat* Nov 04 14:12:35 * Morgan gasps again, squirming Nov 04 14:12:47 Sweetheart thats... thats getting a bit close... Nov 04 14:14:16 *this doesn't deter her, and she gently cups his balls in her hand, making a motion like a swallow with her throat, tugging at him as if trying to draw him deeper into her* Nov 04 14:14:43 * Morgan inevitably swells just before his release hits Nov 04 14:15:57 *She continues this swallowing motion, taking all his release down into her stomach, very gently squeezing with her hand to maximise the sensation* Nov 04 14:16:25 * Morgan relaxes back onto the bed, exhaling slowly Nov 04 14:17:06 *She slows, then retreats to give him a few slow sensual licks, her fingers easing away* Nov 04 14:17:41 Wow... what on Theah brought that on? Nov 04 14:19:38 *She moves back up towards him. It's too dark to see her, but it's her soft words that make him realise who she is, where he is, and what he has done* I dreamt of you, my love, and I needed you. Nov 04 14:21:16 Oh. Oh! Oh I didn't... I didn't realise... Nov 04 14:21:55 It's alright liebling, I did not need my needs seeing to, I just needed to please you Nov 04 14:22:19 No, Molly, I... I didn't realise it was you... I was dreaming... I thought... Nov 04 14:22:38 Thought what, my love? *she sounds sleepy* Nov 04 14:23:01 Thought I was in Sudlachenburg, in sixty seven... Nov 04 14:23:17 Oh. Nov 04 14:23:54 * MollyK takes a deep slow breath "I'm sorry, I didn't think." Nov 04 14:24:31 I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I.... Blossom, I'm so sorry Nov 04 14:25:02 No, it's... it's my fault... *she sounds stunned, distracted* Nov 04 14:25:47 * Morgan sits up, shifting until he's sat cross legged Nov 04 14:25:56 No, its not Nov 04 14:27:17 *she inhales slowly through her nose* I thought these... nightmares where you get stuck... *she exhales slowly* are only when my course comes. It's a few... days yet Nov 04 14:27:53 No, this doesn't feel quite like that... Nov 04 14:28:55 It's... sorry-... *she gets off the bed, scrabbling for the empty chamberpot beneath it before vomiting into it* Nov 04 14:29:15 * Morgan lights some candles Nov 04 14:29:20 What do you need of me? Nov 04 14:30:05 * MollyK waves her hand as if to say not to worry, then holds her hair back whilst she retches again Nov 04 14:30:59 Oh god, I'm so sorry Nov 04 14:31:44 * MollyK sets it down, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, trying to catch her breath "No. My fault." Nov 04 14:32:02 No it _isnt_ Nov 04 14:33:03 * MollyK puts it under the bed out of the way, then draws up her knees, wrapping her arms around them Nov 04 14:33:22 Can I... hold you? Will it help? Nov 04 14:33:41 * MollyK nods "yes. Please." Nov 04 14:33:56 * Morgan shifts towards her, putting his arms around her Nov 04 14:35:01 * MollyK starts sobbing against his skin, her tears so hot Nov 04 14:35:12 Oh my love. I'm so sorry Nov 04 14:35:35 * MollyK nods, still crying Nov 04 14:37:10 What can I do? Nov 04 14:37:45 *there's a single chime of the dawn watch. He wakes up properly from this nightmare. Molly is sleepily patting his chest* Shhhh… shhh… just a dream. Nov 04 14:38:08 * Morgan pulls her to him, holding her tightly Nov 04 14:38:19 * MollyK wakes properly Nov 04 14:38:21 I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry Nov 04 14:38:35 Alright, my love, I'm here, what's wrong? Nov 04 14:38:58 * Morgan shakes his head, just repeating himself again Nov 04 14:39:36 * MollyK rolls him, putting almost all her weight on him Nov 04 14:39:51 Listen to me. Take a deep breath. Nov 04 14:40:30 * Morgan struggles against her but takes a deep breath Nov 04 14:40:46 * MollyK lifts off a little Nov 04 14:40:51 Good. Again. Nov 04 14:41:22 * Morgan does it again Nov 04 14:41:38 * MollyK reduces the pressure much more Nov 04 14:41:43 Once more Nov 04 14:41:53 * Morgan draws in another deep breath Nov 04 14:42:11 * MollyK completely removes her weight Nov 04 14:42:27 Do you want some magic? Nov 04 14:42:55 * Morgan shakes his head, not looking at her Nov 04 14:43:14 * MollyK puts her hand on his cheek Nov 04 14:43:18 Talk to me. Nov 04 14:43:35 * Morgan almost looks to be in pain by his expression, shaking his head Nov 04 14:44:18 * MollyK kisses the centre of his forehead gently "Everything's Alright, my love" Nov 04 14:44:33 * Morgan shakes his head again, drawing away from her Nov 04 14:45:20 * MollyK is careful to keep her expression neutral as she lets him retreat Nov 04 14:46:04 * Morgan moves to sit on the edge of the bed, holding his head in his hands Nov 04 14:46:24 Do you need to find DeeDee instead? Nov 04 14:46:45 No. I will not rely on that tobacco. Nov 04 14:47:09 Alright, my love Nov 04 14:48:04 If you do not wish my help or to talk, perhaps Claudia will be around to train with? Nov 04 14:48:44 * Morgan nods slightly but doesn't move for a few moments before standing and pulling his trousers and boots on, heading for the door Nov 04 14:48:55 Liebes herz? Nov 04 14:49:02 What? Nov 04 14:49:11 I love you. Entirely. Nov 04 14:49:26 * Morgan sobs for a moment, nodding before whispering Nov 04 14:49:27 And I you Nov 04 14:49:54 * MollyK looks quite concerned Nov 04 14:50:12 If you need me, you will call me. That is a command. Nov 04 14:50:28 * Morgan nods slightly, heading out the door Nov 04 14:50:42 *the hall is quiet* Nov 04 14:51:10 * Morgan finds Claudia's room, knocking Nov 04 14:51:27 *the door is slightly ajar, room dark* Nov 04 14:51:47 * Morgan pushes the door open Nov 04 14:52:08 *the room is empty, even her kit bag and weapons are gone* Nov 04 14:52:29 * Morgan frowns, going to DeeDee's room, knocking Nov 04 14:53:10 *there's no answer* Nov 04 14:53:17 * Morgan knocks louder Nov 04 14:53:30 *there's still nothing Nov 04 14:54:08 * Morgan tries the door, pushing it open Nov 04 14:54:54 *it's unlocked. Like with Claudia's it's empty, though the bedsheets are tangled Nov 04 14:55:12 * Morgan scowls, going looking for the pair of them Nov 04 14:55:52 *Outdoors he can immediately smell the tobacco. It seems to be coming from a big hay cart* Nov 04 14:56:13 * Morgan makes for it Nov 04 14:56:19 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Nov 04 14:57:21 * Claudia sounds upset when she talks "And I told her I was bored of her being ill. I said I didn't want to sit with her all day everyday when I could play outdoors..." Nov 04 14:57:54 * Morgan slows Nov 04 14:58:15 D: Yeah, tough for kids. Nov 04 14:59:18 * Claudia chokes back a sob "she had my father put her bed near the window so she could still see me as she faded away. I played out in the sun, thinking we had forever" Nov 04 15:00:46 D: God, you were jus' a little girl, you weren't to know..." Nov 04 15:01:29 *There's a pause and more exhaled smoke* Nov 04 15:02:06 * Morgan quietly moves closer Nov 04 15:03:45 I was a selfish little bitch, and I should have been with her. I should have sat still and let her do my hair and talk to me about the pretty dresses she wanted to make. That's all she wanted, just time with me, and I fucking refused. Then she was dead. Nov 04 15:05:32 D: You're being way too 'ard on yourself. But I know, when you dream this stuff it fuckin' eats at your soul. Nov 04 15:06:07 * Morgan moves into sight, speaking quietly Nov 04 15:06:17 Can I join you? I don't wish to intrude Nov 04 15:06:30 * Claudia rubs at her face Nov 04 15:06:43 D: Nah, man, we got some space, come up Nov 04 15:06:54 * Morgan looks at Claudia sadly Nov 04 15:07:05 actually... no, its alright. I'll see you in a bit Nov 04 15:07:14 Stay. Nov 04 15:07:54 * Morgan looks torn for a moment before climbing up and sitting down Nov 04 15:08:22 * Claudia moves, leaning against him with firm pressure Nov 04 15:08:39 D: *he offers Morgan the pipe* Nov 04 15:08:53 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 15:08:57 No, thank you Nov 04 15:09:48 *DeeDee offers to Claudia, and she briefly inhales, holds, blows out. It does smell good* Nov 04 15:10:15 D: how was your night? Nov 04 15:10:42 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 15:10:43 Had better Nov 04 15:11:10 D: Bar's fuckin' low sometimes. Nov 04 15:11:34 * Morgan nods Nov 04 15:11:40 * Claudia hasn't moved from her contact with Morgan Nov 04 15:11:57 * Morgan leans back against her, sighing Nov 04 15:12:35 Gettin' lighter. Nov 04 15:12:45 D: Thank god. Nov 04 15:13:38 * Morgan nods, looking at his hands Nov 04 15:15:27 * Claudia looks at him Nov 04 15:15:36 Need to train? Nov 04 15:15:59 I do but... I don't want to pull you away Nov 04 15:16:20 * Claudia straightens up a bit "I'm good" Nov 04 15:17:28 * Morgan looks at her Nov 04 15:17:29 Sure? Nov 04 15:17:48 * Claudia nods "yeah, let's do it" Nov 04 15:18:01 * Morgan nods, climbing down again Nov 04 15:18:55 * Claudia goes with him, and DeeDee follows Nov 04 15:19:11 D: I'll get started sorting our transport Nov 04 15:19:59 * Morgan nods, thanking him Nov 04 15:20:48 * Claudia gets her sword from under the cart, rolling her shoulders and neck Nov 04 15:21:07 *DeeDee heads for the stables* Nov 04 15:21:17 * Morgan draws his sword, waiting for her Nov 04 15:21:22 No we didn't, incase you wondered. Nov 04 15:21:39 Didnt Nov 04 15:21:50 Have sex Nov 04 15:22:34 I mean I didn't wonder Nov 04 15:38:23 * Claudia has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 04 15:38:25 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 04 15:38:42 * MollyK nods, saluting him Nov 04 15:38:49 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Nov 04 15:38:51 * Morgan does likewise Nov 04 15:39:04 * Claudia lets him set the pace for a change Nov 04 15:40:31 * Morgan drives hard Nov 04 15:40:47 * Claudia pushes him a little harder Nov 04 15:41:43 * Morgan responds Nov 04 15:43:26 *they keep this up for quite a while, and soon his muscles start to really burn, his mind settled into the thrusts, parries, dodges until no other thoughts can take hold. It starts to get quite light* Nov 04 15:44:09 * Morgan pushes himself for a little longer, stopping just short of hurting himself Nov 04 15:44:26 * Claudia breathes hard, but she's grinning Nov 04 15:44:32 Damn that's better! Nov 04 15:45:26 * Morgan nods, putting up his sword Nov 04 15:46:00 You okay? Nov 04 15:46:38 * Morgan looks at her for a moment before shrugging Nov 04 15:46:41 Better than I was Nov 04 15:46:46 * Claudia nods Nov 04 15:46:50 I'll take that Nov 04 15:47:21 * Morgan nods Nov 04 15:47:29 *she looks at the light* Reckon we can get off soon? Nov 04 15:48:00 * Morgan nods Nov 04 15:48:11 Breakfast and we'll get on the move Nov 04 15:50:33 * Claudia nods. When they get in to breakfast the others are all there. DeeDee looks the most relaxed, eating loads. Varick looks like he's been crying, sat close to Molly. Inga looks a little tense, HH a little harrowed. Molly is watching them all with a little concern. Nov 04 15:50:54 [what's going on?] Nov 04 15:51:07 [everyone's had a bad night] Nov 04 15:51:18 [Thats... odd] Nov 04 15:51:43 [something about the place, perhaps] Nov 04 15:52:17 [seems unlikely] Nov 04 15:53:23 *they all get to eating, but there's not a lot of appetite, so Molly has it packed up to take with them. No one talks much whilst they get underway, Varick wanting to ride with Morgan* Nov 04 15:54:14 * Morgan pulls him up into the saddle Nov 04 15:54:23 * Claudia is now known as Varick Nov 04 15:55:05 *Claudia and DeeDee ride point, Morgan and HH at the rear, ladies in the carriage* Nov 04 15:55:22 Whats wrong young man? Nov 04 15:55:36 Do you think I'm going to hell, Papa? Nov 04 15:55:51 Why on Theah would you think that? Nov 04 15:57:06 Because I dreamt my Daddy came from heaven and said that because I am seven and haven't taken communion in the Vaticine church I've let him down and I'm going to not see him when I die because I'll be in hell *he starts to cry* Nov 04 15:57:42 * Morgan pulls him into a hug Nov 04 15:58:01 No, thats not true Varick.... Nov 04 15:58:22 But that's what the Holy Book says Nov 04 15:58:48 Thats what the _Vaticine_ holy book says. Its not what mine says Nov 04 15:59:13 I don't want to go to hell Nov 04 16:00:21 You're not going to hell... as long as you're a good person, who helps people as much as you can, God will welcome you into heaven Nov 04 16:01:13 What if I'm not a good person, what if I'm a bad boy like my Daddy said Nov 04 16:01:34 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 16:02:00 You are a good boy... you care about others, and want to help them. Nov 04 16:04:28 * Varick just quietly cries a while Nov 04 16:04:48 * Morgan rocks him gently, reassuring him quietly that everything will be fine Nov 04 16:05:48 * Varick does settle some, but he still seems pensive and withdrawn. "I wish Theus would tell me what religion to be so I don't have to feel bad" Nov 04 16:07:04 It'd make it much easier wouldn't it, if he just popped down and said 'hey, Varick, I don't mind as long as you're good' hmm? Nov 04 16:07:12 * Varick nods Nov 04 16:07:20 Yes, Papa Nov 04 16:08:48 Thing is... if I made this decision for you, you would still be worried I think Nov 04 16:08:59 * Varick shrugs Nov 04 16:09:12 I just want to not feel bad Nov 04 16:09:38 I know... do you think I'm going to go to heaven? Nov 04 16:10:04 Yes, Papa, because you saved us from the ship Nov 04 16:10:33 But I haven't taken the communion when I was seven... Nov 04 16:11:07 But... *he sighs* I don't know. That's what Daddy said. Nov 04 16:11:52 I think... he said that because thats how he was raised to believe it... I don't think thats the case at all Nov 04 16:13:25 * Varick sighs heavier, just leaning back to Morgan Nov 04 16:14:01 I don't want to talk about it anymore Nov 04 16:14:17 Alright. We'll be here when you do, ok? Nov 04 16:14:25 Okay, Papa Nov 04 16:14:33 * Morgan nods, kissing his crown Nov 04 16:15:49 * Varick doesn't say anything for a long time, not until he asks to stop for a wee and a drink, so they come off the road on a little side track. Nov 04 16:16:40 * Morgan climbs down, helping him down Nov 04 16:17:07 * Varick gets down. He's immediately off into the trees Nov 04 16:17:16 * Varick is now known as HH Nov 04 16:17:25 * HH comes over to Morgan Nov 04 16:17:37 Hey man, any chance of a hug? Nov 04 16:17:49 * Morgan turns, immediately enveloping him in a tight hug Nov 04 16:17:59 * HH holds him really hard Nov 04 16:18:05 Wanna tell me? Nov 04 16:18:22 It's gonna be brutal for you, man Nov 04 16:18:38 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 16:18:59 * HH takes a deep, shuddering inhale Nov 04 16:19:48 Came home with you to the Fire. Managed to get in, upstairs *he is starting to shiver a little* Nov 04 16:20:02 Oh HeinzHarold Nov 04 16:20:16 * HH nods. Nov 04 16:22:10 Tried to block yer way when I saw, send you out, but you tried to get passed an I let you. God, man. *he shudders hard* They were still alive, but... *he feels HH's stomach turn over* Nov 04 16:22:39 * Morgan puts his hand on the back of his head, holding him tightly Nov 04 16:23:03 Its alright... why don't you talk to Molly, ask her to take the edge off it Nov 04 16:23:12 Already did Nov 04 16:23:20 * Morgan nods Nov 04 16:23:32 Could try that tobacco... it'd probably help you Nov 04 16:24:21 Mebbie. Just keep hearing y' say "Shouldn't have let me see... why'd you let me see..." Nov 04 16:24:56 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 04 16:34:41 Its alright man Nov 04 16:35:03 * HH is quiet a minute, but Morgan can feel his neck getting wet Nov 04 16:35:34 * Morgan covers HeinzHarolds ear before letting out a whistle Nov 04 16:36:28 *Claudia appears from the trees, pulling her her trousers, gesturing* $what?$ Nov 04 16:36:39 Up* Nov 04 16:36:51 $Get DeeDee, HeinzHarold needs some of the tobacco Nov 04 16:37:25 [Has Inga told you what she dreamed?] Nov 04 16:37:42 *Claudia does so. She brings the pipe a minute later* Nov 04 16:40:03 [yes, she has. She was put in charge of Florrie at Morgan's Rock, and Florrie drowned. She had to bring her body back, and bumped into you first, and you were completely heartbroken because it looked like she was carrying Jana instead, and it was her fault because she was in charge* Nov 04 16:40:39 Right, come on man, take some of this Nov 04 16:40:53 [And what did you dream?] Nov 04 16:40:59 * HH seems to know what he's doing Nov 04 16:41:26 Someones had that before I see... Nov 04 16:41:43 [Absolutely nothing] Nov 04 16:41:56 [_thats_ interesting] Nov 04 16:42:19 Just once, man, when I first joined up Nov 04 16:42:42 * Morgan nods Nov 04 16:42:49 Alright, so you know this'll make it a bit easier Nov 04 16:42:56 * HH does it a second time before handing it to Claudia Nov 04 16:43:07 Yeah. I'll be okay now Nov 04 16:43:35 *Varick shouts* Papa, you have to see this! Nov 04 16:44:01 * Morgan nods, setting off towards Varick at a run Nov 04 16:44:13 * HH is now known as Varick Nov 04 16:46:01 * Varick comes back towards him, then leads the way. Not far in the tree line is a three sets of gallows in a clearing, looking unused for a while but long established. There's also mounds that look like they could be mass graves. Nov 04 16:46:22 What the hell Nov 04 16:46:34 * Varick looks around slowly Nov 04 16:47:13 There's so many, Papa Nov 04 16:47:20 Ghosts? Nov 04 16:47:25 * Varick nods Nov 04 16:47:33 Can you find out who they were? Nov 04 16:47:49 * Varick concentrates Nov 04 16:48:09 They can't talk. They're only like half ghosts Nov 04 16:48:21 thats... stranger than normal Nov 04 16:48:26 * Varick nods Nov 04 16:48:39 Like not all their souls are there anymore Nov 04 16:48:50 * Morgan frowns Nov 04 16:48:55 What do they look like? Nov 04 16:50:01 Lots of different people. Children to old people, men and women. Poor people and noble people. But they look less real than real ghosts, and their eyes are gone. Nov 04 16:52:23 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 04 17:30:59 * Varick has quit (Ping Timeout) Nov 04 22:37:16 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 04 22:39:04 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 04 22:41:12 Do any of them have uniform you can see? Nov 04 22:42:51 * MollyK is now known as Varick Nov 04 22:43:01 A couple, but not everyone Nov 04 22:44:40 * Morgan nods Nov 04 22:44:44 Describe them for me? Nov 04 22:45:27 * Varick does so. There's a few Vaticine army, one Vaticine navy, two Objectionist army, two Objectionist navy Nov 04 22:49:09 Oh thats peculiar Nov 04 22:52:20 * Varick nods, still looking around. Morgan feels a gentle hand on his lower back Nov 04 22:52:59 * Morgan looks round Nov 04 22:54:30 *Molly is stood beside him, looking up at him, but serious, not smiling* is everything alright, my love? Nov 04 22:54:53 There appears to be a mass grave... Nov 04 22:55:19 *Molly looks at it* M: Oh... Nov 04 22:55:45 * Morgan nods Nov 04 22:55:53 I wonder if this has something to do with last night...

Nov 04 23:29:05 Alright... I had a dream that continued where I had betrayed HeinzHarold first... then I woke up, thought about getting up but went back to sleep... Nov 04 23:29:50 * Molly nods "You will tell me more about that later?" Nov 04 23:30:18 If you wish... Nov 04 23:31:34 Yes, please. Continue, please Nov 04 23:31:45 * Morgan draws a deep breath Nov 04 23:32:25 I was in Sudlachenburg, with Dietlinde... I woke to find her using her mouth upon me.... *he frowns* I am not sure how much detail you wish... Nov 04 23:32:55 * Molly takes a deep breath too Nov 04 23:32:58 Go on. Nov 04 23:34:44 She had never done that. She... did something I did not know she could do... afterwards, I asked what had gotten into her... when she spoke, it was your voice... I had spent myself in your mouth, thinking it was her... you... after vomiting, you were so terribly hurt, I had let you down so badly Nov 04 23:36:09 * Molly nods a little Nov 04 23:36:21 Okay... alright... Nov 04 23:36:33 When I woke... oh blossom, I felt so _ashamed_ Nov 04 23:36:54 Oh my love, that's so awful for you Nov 04 23:37:39 Thats why I couldn't face you this morning. I am so sorry Nov 04 23:38:17 Put your arms in my cloak. It's alright, my love, I'm not angry Nov 04 23:41:22 But you are hurt Nov 04 23:41:38 * Molly shakes her head Nov 04 23:41:50 I was worried about you, very much Nov 04 23:42:11 * Morgan nods Nov 04 23:42:44 How do you feel now? Nov 04 23:43:14 Ill at ease. Did you hear what HeinzHarold dreamed? Nov 04 23:43:34 No. Your hands, please. Nov 04 23:44:41 * Morgan puts his hands inside her cloak Nov 04 23:45:17 * Molly relaxes at the physical contact Nov 04 23:46:04 He got to the cottage with me as it was burning, managed to get in before me... upstairs... they were still alive but, it was too late... he tried to stop me getting past, but I shoved through... afterwards I kept asking why he let me past.... He shouldn't have let me past... Nov 04 23:46:28 Oh god. Poor Heinzharold Nov 04 23:46:38 * Morgan nods Nov 04 23:47:11 Varick with Karsten... Inga letting Florrie drown....are we seeing a commonality here? Nov 04 23:48:10 Guilt. Nov 04 23:48:18 * Morgan nods Nov 04 23:48:40 Like the guilt paid off at the gallows... Nov 04 23:48:49 I suppose Nov 04 23:49:09 What were you thinking, if not that? Nov 04 23:49:16 I hadn't gotten that far Nov 04 23:49:35 There is one question though... Nov 04 23:49:40 Go on Nov 04 23:49:50 Why did I not dream at all? Nov 04 23:49:58 I have absolutely no idea Nov 04 23:51:17 Me either Nov 04 23:51:46 * Morgan nods Nov 04 23:52:31 I have used the magic on Heinzharold and Inga, are the others alright? Nov 04 23:52:57 Claudia and DeeDee have both used the tobacco, as has HeinzHarold now Nov 04 23:53:19 * Molly nods Nov 04 23:53:46 I'm beginning to wonder if I am not going to be needed like that anymore! Nov 04 23:54:28 Its... different, my love.... It calms the mind a little Nov 04 23:55:11 The one thing I have been unable to do Nov 04 23:55:30 So far, yes Nov 04 23:56:05 You have a great deal of faith in my abilities! Nov 04 23:56:24 I have a great deal of faith in you Nov 04 23:57:08 * Molly leans back against him Nov 04 23:57:13 And I in you Nov 04 23:57:48 * Morgan shrugs Nov 04 23:58:06 Why do you shrug, my love? Nov 04 23:59:05 I was just thinking, you do so much complex work... I find a thing, I set fire to a thing...
